I love this tune. I used to accompany a friend on clarinet on it before he passed away. The Duke Robillard version that the OP links to is really nice.
Here’s my attempt on solo guitar. I’ve been doing a lot more gardening than practicing lately, so it’s rough. I’ll try to work on finger mechanics and clean it up.
It's been awhile since i last logged in here, but there's a strange synchronicity in that i was just playing
'If I Had You' a couple of days ago, and here it is as this month's standard...
and so, off to the shed i will head, since there are still a few days left in the month!!!
In any case, here's a quick 'baseline' recording, playing the melody and changes from memory, and
without the benefit of my 2nd cup of am coffee:
Hopefully it will get a little better...

Oh, I thought you said you wanted the new neck pup to match the look of the existing bridge pup.
Anyways, do you want the new pup to have more body than the Seth, or about the same? That could...
Bobby Stern is a sax player who has many improv lessons for sale on his site.
the thing about his approach is that it is harmonic..and explores his lines in all 12 keys..usually in the cycle of...
I thought so! My lil $600 Yamaha CP-125 digital piano is good instrument apparently. Better watch it or I'm gonna buy a vibraphone. I think I would do a good job on focusing on playing melody only....
Not the power amp stage. That’s an analog class d amplifier
The amps we’re talking about have physical knobs that lower the output of an analog amp. There may a DSP aspect of how it does that...
I lack experience with a wide range of amplifiers, so making a comparison wouldn't be fair. However, I've been using the Blue 6 in both quartet and big band setups, and it performs well (IMHO) in...
I toyed with that this evening. I kind of like how light the maj7 makes it sound, but I put a Dom 7 in there around bar 7-8.
It might be too noodly now.

Thanks very much. I actually use quite a bit of mic’d amp and DI in my mix for the body of the sound with the mike on the guitar mostly addi mg the stringy tizz and acoustic realism. Glad you like...
Yes, it's boxy compared to a Fender. I've done side-by-side comparisons with a friends amp and my Princeton TM, tweaking the tone stack this way and that, and without some sort of assistance from a...
Figured I'd post this here. This is my blonde '89 Emperor that I have modified to be more like a Harmony H-62/Espanada. Since it's a cross between an Emperor and an Espanada, I call it the Empanada...
I thought some more about it.
One of the Bose L1 models, at least, I think comes with a mixer that's similar to the Bose S1, which I owned briefly. There are three channels and I think...
57 Classics have sounded great in any guitar I’ve heard them in. You could possibly tease something slightly better out with some boutique humbuckers, but the return for cost will be very small.
